@@mikejohnson515 '79 was when "The Dukes of Hazzard" debuted adding to a Friday night that already had "Dallas," and, the rest, as they say, is history!
Lucy, Mary, Dick Van Dyke, Sonny & Cher, Hawkeye, Kojak, Jimmy Stewart, Archie Bunker, Carol Burnett, Marshall Dillon, John Boy, Mannix, and Maude -- ALL on the same network! No doubt, this was the best year ever on CBS.
Amazing lineup! CBS ruled for most of television and radio history, and while all broadcast networks have experienced viewer erosion, CBS is still on top with quality shows. By far, the most successful network in American history with a large slate of some of the most iconic and popular shows in history. So many are still going strong today - 60 Minutes, CBS Sunday Morning, The Price is Right, The Young and the Restless, The Bold and the Beautiful, The Late Show, etc. Amazing job, CBS!
They didn’t call CBS the Tiffany network for nothing back then. Not to mention As The World Turns was the number 1 show in daytime then for nearly 20 years.
For those not quite in the know: Monday's lineup: _Gunsmoke, Here's Lucy, The New Dick Van Dyke Show, Medical Center_ Tuesday's lineup: _Maude, Hawaii Five-O, The New CBS Tuesday Night Movies (Hawkins/Shaft)_ Wednesday's lineup: _The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour, Cannon, Kojak_ Thursday's lineup: _The Waltons, The CBS Thursday Night Movies_ Friday's lineup: _Calucci's Dept., Roll Out!, The CBS Friday Night Movies_ Saturday's lineup: _All in the Family, M*A*S*H, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Bob Newhart Show, The Carol Burnett Show_ Sunday's lineup: _The New Perry Mason, Mannix, Barnaby Jones_
This proves that the “Rural Purge” was the right call. You don’t stay #1 for 17 years in a row without knowing your audience. Fred Silverman knew what he was doing.
Channel 10 is Easy on the Eyes, KZTV Corpus Christi, TX. Channel 4 is Easy on the Eyes, KDFW-TV Dallas-Fort Worth. Channel 7 is Easy on the Eyes, KTBC-TV Austin, TX.
1:29 that's how long it's been since 2000, when CBS began "Survivor", when David Letterman had quintuple bypass surgery, and Baja Men let the dogs out.
Who got cancelled in any channels in 1973 NBC : bonanza ( starring with Michael Landon) Abc : the mod squad ( starring with Peggy Lipton) CBS : no television shows got cancelled in 1973
ABC had one leg up on Dupont: getting their channel quota early in the game, while Dupont put their eggs in the wrong basket. They would have their first year-end #1 show in the early 1970s and their first full season at #1 a few years later. Not bad for long being at the bottom of the barrel. Especially since NBC would begin a prolonged slump in that very same cellar.
And so begun my crush on Faye Dunnaway. Bonnie and Clyde made its first television appearance that year in the fall of 1973. Remember it as with Planet Of The Apes so well. A Dracula Friday night movie with Jack Palance if I remember as well.
This could be weird: "The Best Is Right Here On 11/11 Is Easy On The Eyes" from FVCO, now NBC, Lyons. From 76 to 95 the last three letters of the call sign were in common use for this station. The famous Lyons institution Eyewitness News 11 came into existence in 1976 and is still big today over four decades later. FVCO had no special branding from the 95 switch to NBC until July 1, 2015 when NBC 11 was chosen.
I hope you all will respond to this post I was glad to see Hawkeye in the Saturday lineup........though it’s in reruns now love M*A*S*H* been obsessed with it since I saw the first season episode Chief surgeon who? in my recommended video list....though it’s in reruns again I been crushing on Hawkeye good doctor but handsome man black hair and pretty blue eyes......oh and I also liked Cher wish I had the show she did with Sonny the Sonny and Cher comedy hour and her solo show Cher.......like I said I hope you all will reply to this
Wow that Saturday lineup was unbeatable!
When they used to have big promotions & theme songs for the upcoming season. TV was so fun in the 70’s. I’m 56 & I want to go back.
Greatest Saturday night lineup of all time
Hot and great shows of their time.
Deadly lineup for certain.
CBS was UNBEATABLE Saturdays from "72 to '78 but never could get an audience on Fridays until about 1979.

Steve: You forgot about Bob Newhart!
Legendary Saturday lineup. WOW
Absolutely the best year for CBS. Best lineup and jingle ever.
Boy, CBS sure was kicking ass back then!

Great photo online of all the actors together from the great CBS shows back then.

CBS, America's #1 Network, for 66 years, in August 2022.
for 67 years in 2023-24.
CBS ruled prime time TV during the 1973-74 season carrying nine of the top 10 rated shows on television.
This '73-74 lineup was a sharp as a knife...
Thanks for uploading that!!! That was one of my favorites on the internet!!!!

Monte Markham was the new Perry Mason. Back at that time, Raymond Burr played Ironside on NBC so he wasn't available to play Perry Mason

NBC : bonanza ( starring with Michael Landon)
Abc : the mod squad ( starring with Peggy Lipton)
CBS : no television shows got cancelled in 1973
CBS was unbeatable until 1976 when ABC knocked em off the top with Charlie’s Angels and Happy Days etc. and of course their made for TV movies
